PESO: Balloon

A NASA research balloon was released in Wānaka today and it floated NE towards our city. This photo was taken when it was over Ashburton (80km south of here). I don't know its altitude - the flight tracker didn't say. Pentax K5ii with FA*400mm f/5.6 and 2x TC. Quite heavily cropped. A telescope

When I said earlier I could understand why it scared your dog it was kinda tongue in cheek because of the smiley face on the balloon - a giant "hale fellow, well met" annoyance. Went to the balloon festival in Albuquerque in October,1982 - now -that- was really something. (there is one shot I

Thanks,David. I've, also, read that there are those who feel the 80~320 is somewhat sharper than the 100~300. This particular lens was bought from Adorama ($189) with a "demo" rating and appears to never have even been handled. Zoom and manual focus ring are both smooth and snug. Bought a metal hoo

Re: Peso: Balloon Shot

Nice on eJack. Very colourful, sharp, and i like the angle of the picture and crop there off. Its my understanding of the 80-320, that even though its not a super lens, its much better than the 100-300. I don't have anything between 200 and 300, Pentax wize. Mught just look into this.:-) Dave On
